Having problems with your PC Desktops ?

The door on my pc is brole an I need to install my scanner,how do I get to use the scanner without putting in the disc.

Answers :

You can download the software and drivers by going to the manufacturer's website and search your model.

What I would try is, if your computer has access to the internet, going to the scanner's manufacturer's website and downloading the drivers and software if it is available there. I have done that when I either couldn't use the cdrom or had lost the install software.
